I put (setq gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method 'gnus-subscribe-topics) into my gnus-init-file and edited the topic parameters (using G c) so that the edit window (G p) now shows the line ((subscribe . "nnmail")) Unfortunately it still doesn't work. A new group that had appeared today was not showing up. Only after M-x gnus-find-new-newsgroups it did show up in the root-topic "Gnus". It was a lucky coincidence that I had a new group to subscribe to today for testing purposes. I assume I could always test this by first killing a group (S k) and then checking whether it shows up again, right? > > >> My preferred approach would be to use: >> (setq gnus-parameters >> '(("^nnml.*" >> (gnus-show-threads nil) >> (gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'always)) >> )) >> >> And while the first setting (gnus-show-threads) is working fine (which >> tells me that the matcher works) the second does nothing. > > Finding and subscribing new newsgroups is done at startup or by using > the function `gnus-find-new-newsgroup'.

It needs boxquote.el from davep.org which I had to fetch, too. Me happy now :-) Thanks and Regards Stefan Kamphausen -- Stefan Kamphausen --- http://www.skamphausen.de a blessed +42 regexp of confusion (weapon in hand) You hit. The format string crumbles and turns to dust.
